Sometimes the first group and last group of Rock Lizards will not exist on your widescan depending on where you stand and how big your widescan range is...
I don't know exactly how many monsters are in between each group. It is just an estimate.

Respawn time for Rock Lizards is 5 minutes earth time so once you kill a PH, set a 5 min timer.
Then either the PH will spawn again or LL =)

I would recommend that when you are camping LL, go in a party with 2 members, since LL have a chance to spawn either at the upper floor or at the lower one (regardless of which PH was killed...) With two members you can each take a PH to make it easier to keep track of the pop window for each PH.

Happy hunting!

Hehe I'm so lucky ^^
I had like 20 min playtime, so I couldn't do anything worthwile. A friend of me has been camping LL for like weeks, and he still didn't got the drop, so I thought, " hey why not see if LL is out.."
Grabbed Choco, ran in circle's for 5 min around poping spots. LL Popped right in front of me!Stepped of Choco and stunned it, Blizzard 2 and got the bounding boots ^^

so got the boots w/ a 57BLM/16TFH on 1st kill XD
Poor THF's and RNG's wo were camping it for houres ~.~

Pfft...join the club. I camped it this morning... I'm 0/27 on the drop (been camping on and off ever since the bounding boots update).

I absolutely refuse to go to Qufim without my bounding boots. My THF is 20. Guess I just gotta' keep trying... Good luck to you, as well.

Well, this is one of those stories that is realy gonna **** off you campers, but for those who haven't stood much of a chance before, its a good story.
So there i was, on my choco, headed out to konschat highlands to take care of a few quests that were in my inbox. I decided to ride past the campgrounds for LL, and lo and behold, there she was, just chilling there. I think to myself, "holy sh*t, heres my chance. But someones is prolly gonna come around the corner and steal her, as usual." But i managed to get off my choco, retarget, and pull out my sword. So i thought i had a chance. And i did. First time i ever killed LL and i get the drop. I have tried camping her for hours at a time, just to have some sh*t steal her away that just got there. So, to those downhearted people, Keep on truckin, It'll happen one day. And to any gilsellers out there...GILSELLERS MUST DIE

Before the update, I've camped Leaping Lizzy twice for hours at a time trying to get Leaping Boots. The second time was acctually just days before the update changing it to Bounding Boots. A friend offered to let me borrow his pair so I gave up on camping. Since then, I've returned the pair because he wanted to level his thf and my thf and nin are still left unleveled. Well I decided it's time to step up again and camp. I was lucky to get Monster Signa the other day with 15thf sub to my lvl 60 drk while camping Yag necklaces. So I figured since it worked that time I'd try again. I went to spawn area and asked when ToD was and someone said 5-10 mins ago, so I went afk for about 55 mins and came back. However this one turned out to be a 2 hour spawn. So I had 3 other campers to worry about who were running around along with me searching cause we knew it could come at any moment. One camper gave up and left and another went afk while the last trained Rock Lizards. I hit the tab button and there she was...Leaping Lizzy, I stunned it, one hit brought it down to 1/4 health, then Sickle Moon'd it for the kill and the drop.

Pre-Update (Leaping Boots): 0/6
Post Update (Bounding Boots): 1/1
Yay!

I was fighting in the area and I saw a lizzard spawn right next to me. I laughed thinking it would be funny if it was Lizzy so I jumped on it and realized that it was her. I got the drop on the first time I killed her w/o even camping her. Sorry.

I was 0/32 pre update on Leaping Boots.
I am 0/19 post update on Bounding Boots.
Total: 0/51
That's correct. I have NEVER gotten the drop from this mob.
I am feeling bitter. As such, I'd like to point something out to all the people asking why doesn't Squeenix increase the pop rate or drop rate of this mob now that the drop is EX?

*Post edited here for general dumb-assery*

Update: 1/52! My awesome friend camped it with me to overcome my broke a@@ Treasure Hunter. We got the drop on first kill! And he passed! My white whale has finally been speared. Lizzy.. t(^^t) Eat a big one you life sucking wench!!!

After camping Lizzy for about two weeks, doing the halloweenevent at the same time and a few bastokquests for fame too, I must say that compared to Jaggedy-Ear-Jack this was easy. There was much more competition I must say, so it was more intense and important to be alert. I did the same as with Jack; ran around hitting tab, killing every lizard I could (it's great doing these at lower level so you still get a little exp) and claimed her seven times after about ten longer runs. Almost got killed a few times (with a crowd watching and giving comments but no one helping).
When I got the Boots some character were trying to fool others the whole time telling everyone lizzy were there and then she poped just below him: it was the first time I saw her spawn down below the hill almost where the crabs are. I was lvl 17 BLM by then so it was quite easy and during my fight the others were arguing with the guy if he got the drop or not and i don't know if they even noticed (there was at least four or five chasing Lizzy).
So after the fight I just announced my happiness to them and took off with my new Warp-spell. On to the next...

I have a story to tell on this biotch. I have been camping him for 3 days now. i am 0/11 and getting pretty pist. I am 47thf/6rng and have not gotten a drop yet. Out of all the times i have camped her i have lost 2 claims, each dropped damn boots. Really I think now that this NM drops rare/ex item it should be a 80-100 % drop, but i know that will never happen. something else would be to make it pop more often since the drop rate is ****. please anyone tell me who you feel?

0/33 now on lizzy camping 32thf/rng and as maddening as that is alone i have a story.

Was camping lizzy one fine day show up on south gusta hit WS and there was lizzy. Im thinkn to myself already claimed. i run over there and there he is just chilln lol. i get the claim and bout 3 sec after kill 2 campers come up and /angry me lol. No drop onthe boots though. so i stck around for another couple pops. Well only for 1 more it took lizzy 2 hours to pop agian(dang thing). im sittin there WS-ing when a buddy shows up to camp lizzy too we stand there for 20 min and bam there is lizzy right behind me while im runnen. Buddy gets claim and boots after 20 min of EVER camping him. ; ; so yeah share my rage. lol neways GL camping

i've camped LL for a while now... and all i did was train the lizzies, kill them, go back to the rock by the mountain, sit there and check wide scan, get LL and kill it. then train more lizzys and kill them all, and sometimes LL would pop in like 10 min. but if not i'd go afk for like an hour and come back train the lizzys kill them it would pop soon again. simple.

i went 11/45 before update for Leaping boots
then 0/12 after update for bounding

so idk about the drop rate after this stupid update, it sucks
RE: LL veteran
# Nov 05 2005 at 3:34 AM Rating: Decent
This is the perfect plan if you are alone, kill as many potential placeholders as possible then spam ws... only problem for me (35thf/rng) is that I have no AoE so I have to engage my train to kill it, so its problematic of others are running around killing PH as well, kuz lizzy loves to pop while youre engaged with train, which makes it hard to claim ><. However, on a slight tangent... I'm now 1/7 on her ^^ Finally got my boots! VE here I come.

# Oct 26 2005 at 4:58 AM Rating: Decent
Camped for 3hrs tonight... 35thf/rng spawned twice and I got both claims but not boots ><. I read (I think it was in this thread) that WS isnt so helpful because of the terrian here but that is a <lie> both times I beat the competition BECAUSE of WS so Imma keep usin it. I just hope I dont have to go for like 1/22 before I get my stinkin boots ><. Took about 1 3/4 hrs to respawn with me killin PHs.
Only other thing of interest is that after I killed it 2nd time a 45thf told me I should have let him have it kuz of TH2... lmao... what good would that do ME?

EDIT: heh, after several nights of conversation with the aforementioned 45thf it seems he is more helpful than I thought, willing to let me get help from his TH2 by INVITING him when I get claim, the claim I got when I tried to invite him I disengaged (not knowing at the time how to turn around) and someone else Jumped (literally) my lizard and got my boots ><. Think I offended him tho because I immediately made myself quartermaster just incase he tried to lot... you never know >.>

Yo.

I think you missed some spawns cos it was spawning about once an hour, although the lowest I saw was 30 minutes and the highest was almost 2 hours. But only once for each of those, otherwise an hour was the average.

0/3 still. >.<

Teh 45 Tief was there the whole time I was camping... I think he was trying to help out the competition to get them out of the way. He offered to party with me if I claimed Lizzy, but by the time I did he was AFK or something, so I didn't get to see exactly what he was suggesting. But in theory it sounds good... party and then kick him out before Lizzy's dead.

Obviously no drop doesn't help anyone.

BTW, sucks on that whole Fein thing. >.< Can't believe he did that.

Ahh, the 1/2 pop probably messed up my timing then. I'm 0/5 now if I include that "Incident". I cant believe how stupid that was. I felt like such a n00b, had no idea that would take away my claim... still doesnt make alot of sense. Yeah, I was trying to invite him (the thf wit TH2), thats why I disengaged ><. /sigh.... I tried to be as good a sport about it as I could, saw him at AH and congratulated him on boots, but really wanted to <steal> them and <flee> ; ;
RE: Bleh
# Oct 27 2005 at 9:11 PM Rating: Decent
If it's any consolation, I finally got my boots today... persistence pays off. ^^

1/7

And widescan is the only way I would have gotten any of the claims. >.< If you get good at scanning down the list, you can beat almost anyone, sometimes even if they're standing practically next to the spawn, assuming they're not facing it...

I don't have the patience to sit there and just widescan over and over so I run around like an idiot farming everything so I can make a little money in the meantime... and even having it pop while I was still attacking something else, I still often got there first, thanks to widescan and tracking.

'Grats on your boots! hehe, one less good claimer for me to worry about =P. Yeah, I cant rememeber where I read that about WS not helping, either here or the thread about the boots, but its so untrue. I've only missed 2 of the claims Ive been there for, 1 of them was u (was engaged with train when she poped ><) and the other was the 45thf/bst kuz he lucked out and it poped close enough that he could charm it.
Conclusion: WS ftw!

Alright I am starting to hate Leaping Lizzie, I just spent the last almost 4 hours camping her. I got there and she popped within like 10 minutes and I claimed her over like 4 campers. I then wait 3 and a half hours and only one left so I claimed her again. Once again no drop except the tail. I camped her last night for 3 hours too and only a tail which I mean honestly in the two nights I camped, I got a total of 14 stacks of lizard tails. Anyway really frustrated, sure I will try it again tomorrow. So I am at 0/3. *cries*

OK, so I'm leveling alot of low level jobs to 37 so they can be used as potential subs and I'm thinking it would be nice to have a pair of Bounding Boots and an Empress Hairpin. I had PLENTY of time to think about it since PlayOnline login server troubles kept me offline for more than 2 hours today.

Finally I'm able to log in and do a /search of South Gustaberg. Only 18 people in the zone, most of which appear to be leveling and not camping so I decide to give it a shot. I'm there with a 75BLM/37WHM (no sweat, has no flee, has not Widescan), and a RNG/THF of some unknown level as he's anon. I camp for about 50 minutes and I see Lizzy pop right down the hill from the RNG/THF. He must have been in the middle of widescanning because he didn't even see it. Flash it, use all the TP I had gotten from killing placeholders, and it dies. First thing I see drop is a Lizard tail. Aww crap I say to myself. Then the beautiful words appear "You find a pair of Bounding Boots on Leaping Lizzy"!! W00taru!

Got the drop 75WHM/5RNG lol and went 1/1 on Lizzy. Quite refreshing since I am about 0/17 on Deadly Dodo and went about 1/13 on Nue for my brown belt items.

Good luck to all you other campers... time to hit up Emperor!

Dia'd it, and about a 15 second fight for a lvl 30 blm lol :p But I got it ^^ Good luck to anyone camping it, need help, just /tell me either on Oropei or Tomoku~
Guide For Lizzy
# Oct 19 2005 at 2:11 PM Rating: Decent
This is a bulletproof guide for Lizzy. I used, and tested it myself to get my pair. I find this to be helpful.
-Drop Rate 1/5
-Spawn Rate
*if last time was a drop usual spawn rate is 1-5 hours. Most likely she will show near the turn of the first hour.
*if last time wasnt a drop, she will in 10-30 min VERY likely.
-%Of Spawn
*I have slwoly relized NM's have a % of spawn, with a lvl of % slowly increasing. Lizzy follows, a pattern i call LL% (named of coarse after her) every 10min the rate gets higher, higest possible rate on an NM is 80%, save certain cases of 100% spawn.
-Claiming LL
*for VE i would say WS is the only way, but LL is another story. The fact of the matter is the way the terian is set up, its better not to spam WS. Someone simply moving around in a circular pattern is a better idea. Lizards will spawn as u walk by, grab it and run with aggro egtting links on the way. If you do this correctly you should be the only one with a shot at Lizzy. Voke, Flash, or a quick Ranged attk are your best bet on the claim.
-Teams?
*The fact of the matter is teams work. As long as the team functions in a cell. It never does hurt to have a WS spamming RNG, but in this situation, WS is not needed. Have ppl with VOKE OR FLASH macros going in a circular direction, each goign opposite was around the giant rock int he middle. That way if one misses a lizard, the other cna grab it and dispose quickly
-Competition?
*the best way to fight the competition is to use tricks. If u want to get it, no matter what then u must know the enemy. If the perosn isnt standing in oen spot spamming WS, make sure they cant see you, then say "awww no drop". Most ppl will eleave. The best way is to egt a huge gruop together. campers will elave just seeing the group enter and want to come back at a better time.

-Blest
RE: Guide For Lizzy
# Oct 19 2005 at 2:16 PM Rating: Decent
-Placeholders
* every lizard on the two Steps is a place holder. They all can turn to LL. she usually wont pop in the same place twice in a row, look for a place that is almost directly opposite. 30% chance she will pop there. go for that place, but not relying on it, just watch over it with a hawk eye.
-Theif
*Thf always helps, but the stats im reffering to are done with a PLD/WAR, done over and over again.

Thx for reading. Yes, i did spend a lot of time on it lol. I wanted the boots, but when i foudn this trategy effective i decided to see how much it would work. In a matter of 3 hours we got all claims and she dropped 2 sets of boots. remember the % i was talking about, thats the key. If you want a strategy for another NM, send me a /tell on Garuda or post here i guess.

I understand you spending a lot of time on this ^_~ But coming from someone else who has spent many an hour camping that lizard (I would guess I've killed Lizzy at least 200 times, seen her nearly twice that, and have approximately a 1/10 drop rate), your theory doesn't hold true ^_~

I've gotten the boots drop and she's popped 15 minutes later before. I've seen her take over 6 hours to pop, with at least 10 people camping, all killing placeholders. I've seen her pop 3 times in a 20 minute period. I've seen her pop in the same place twice in a row a number of times.

But yea ^^ I appreciate you putting your findings up. But saying 'awww, no drop' when you didn't even kill her (and she didn't even pop) is low, I must say (assuming I understood what you said correctly, I apologise if I didn't). And it could well get you a bad reputation if you're proven wrong. I know when I'm camping, I'm refreshing my widescan list on average once every 4-5 seconds. Enemies stay in the list for at least 10 seconds after they die, so even if she spawned dead, I would still know about it.
